Recurrent 8q24 rearrangement in BPDCN: association with immunoblastoid cytomorphology, MYC expression, and drug response (CAL-1, JQ1 treatment)


ABSTRACT: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare skin-tropic hematological malignancy of uncertain pathogenesis and poor prognosis. We examined 118 BPDCN cases for cytomorphology, MYC locus rearrangement, and MYC expression. Sixty-two (53%) and 41 (35%) showed the classic and immunoblastoid cytomorphology, respectively. Forty-one (38%) MYC+BPDCN (positive for rearrangement and expression) and 59 (54%) MYC-BPDCN (both negative) cases were identified. Immunoblastoid cytomorphology was significantly associated with MYC+BPDCN. All examined MYC+BPDCNs were negative for MYB/MYBL1 rearrangement (0/36). Clinically, MYC+BPDCN showed older onset, poorer outcome, and localized skin tumors more commonly than MYC-BPDCN. MYC was demonstrated by expression profiling as one of the clearest discriminators between CAL-1 (MYC+BPDCN) and PMDC05 (MYC-BPDCN) cell lines, and its shRNA knockdown suppressed CAL-1 viability. Inhibitors for bromodomain and extraterminal protein (BETis) and aurora kinases (AKis) inhibited CAL-1 growth more effectively than PMDC05. We further showed that a BCL2 inhibitor was effective in both CAL-1 and PMDC05, indicating that this inhibitor can be used to treat MYC-BPDCN, to which BETis and AKis are probably less effective. Our data will provide a rationale for the development of new treatment strategies for patients with BPDCN in accordance with precision medicine.
